NASA planning to lasso, move asteroid for astronauts to explore

NASA planning to lasso, move asteroid for astronauts to explore. $78 million has been allocated to Nasa's budget to find and capture an asteroid. The actual rendezvous and lassoing of an asteroid, which NASA characterizes as the "most technically challenging aspect of the mission," could begin as soon as 2019 and result in the asteroid arriving in the vicinity of the moon in 2021.
